Rockville Elementary School

Q: Is Rockville Elementary School a good school?

Rockville Elementary School ranks 639 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Rockville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 341 students in grades PK-5 in Rockville, Indiana. The school is part of the North Central Parke Community School Corp district, which is ranked 190 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Rockville Elementary faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.62%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Turkey Run Elementary. The school's test scores on the ILEARN assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, especially in English Language Arts, with only 31.01% of students proficient or better compared to 38.95% for the district and 38.6% statewide. Rockville Elementary has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.2% in 2020-2021 to 14.1% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools.

Additionally, Rockville Elementary has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.6% to 64.52% over the past three years, significantly higher than the state average and some nearby schools. Despite the increase in per-student spending, from $9,471 in 2018-2019 to $12,453 in 2021-2022, the school's academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the solution to the school's challenges. Rockville Elementary's declining statewide ranking, from 397 out of 1,020 Indiana elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 639 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, further indicates the need for a comprehensive review of the school's strategies and resources to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
